Hi rakozzz -Google Sheets API typically indicates that your application (in this case, Power BI) is making requests to Google Sheets at a rate that exceeds the allowed quota for your API key or service account. 

some solutions:

 

  • Review Google Sheets API Usage: Check the usage limits and quotas for the Google Sheets API associated with your API key or service account. You can monitor these through the Google Cloud Console under API & Services > Quotas.

  • Adjust Data Refresh Frequency: Reduce the frequency of data refreshes in Power BI to stay within the API quota limits. For example, if you have hourly refreshes, consider spreading them out or reducing the frequency to every few hours.

  • Optimize Query Ranges: Limit the ranges queried from Google Sheets to only what is necessary. If your query retrieves large datasets unnecessarily, it can contribute to hitting the rate limits faster.

  • Implement Backoff Strategy: Configure Power BI to implement exponential backoff in case of receiving 429 errors. This means if a request fails with a 429 error, wait for an increasing amount of time before retrying the request. This can help mitigate the impact of rate limiting.

Hope it helps
